Sign me up for the security system. This seems like a total game changer if it's possible to do real human detection and tracking in a secure location.
I have a weirder utility for it: occupancy sensing in rooms. If it can detect breathing of humans reliably, then it solves a huge problem in having home automation with automatic lighting - particularly in bathrooms. I've never had a decent bathroom occupancy sensor (they all end up wanting to detect fairly large motions) - the obvious solution is AI with a camera but for obvious reasons no, but if a couple of base s…

It can also serve as a replacement for IR sensors in homes and keep thieves at bay
Who do you think will be faster in adopting the technology—burglars or homeowners?
Moreover, thieves are likely to use custom-built RF occupancy detection devices, while the vast majority of homeowners will buy an off-the-shelf product that will either sell their data to advertisers (a la "smart" televisions), require a subscription service, or both.

2012, https://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2012-07/seeing-thr... > The U.K. Ministry of Defence has funded a study to determine whether it could be used to scan buildings during urban warfare. With improvements, Woodbridge says, the device could become sensitive enough to pick up on subtle motions the ribcage makes during breathing, which would allow the radar to detect people who are standing or sitting still.
Enter some weird cyber-defense suit which masks bodily movements when you sit still...
Sounds more like a job for just plain old RF jamming.
Re: DensePose from WiFi
#45Take a look at Figure 10, mind blowing. This tech will make it into every device with an RF receiver. Your TV, phone, router, computer, tablet, fridge, lightbulb will know your pulse and waste size at all locations in your house.
I think you meant waist size, but the typo is even more privacy invasive.
My bad, I meant waste volume.

#46From the abstract: "This paves the way for low-cost, broadly accessible, and privacy-preserving algorithms for human sensing." How much do we have to wait for the follow up paper: "Human identification through wifi signals" and then the patent for "Wifi as an identity tracking source for advertisement in public spaces" Technology advances make me sad those days...
Cmon, use your imagination, It’s worse than that. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6513191/

Summary is good:
> Wi-Fi is fucked, everything is broken, Donald J. Trump is president, and the earth is dying. Ok, taking a step back, you might be wondering what you can do to protect yourself. The solution is not without flaws; turn your Wi-Fi off when you aren’t connected to a known network. Doing so will prevent your device from leaking your network names and device fingerprint to the open world. The solution is awkward, easy to forget, and sub-par. But its what we’ve got.
